Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

@Shannon It would be helpful that you also add the track length to the description pages.
Background:
If I buy a 5.75.xG program and I have to run it back to back I want to be sure I can do that. For example the 6 loops tell us only that it will be at least 6h of listening time. When the program was not 65 minutes per loop but 108 minutes or let's say 120 minutes (better to calculate), then it would mean 12 hours of listening time uninterrupted. Even 9h is not easy.

- When I listen strictly at night, some nights might be shorter than 8h so it is harder to listen to that at night, sometimes it might not be possible to go 8h or more, 6h or less would be acceptable for me personally in the night

- When I listen in the day it is always different. Some days I could listen a lot of hours, some days I am busy with all different stuff and then it is not handy to listen to it. (Meeting other people, going shopping, eat out in a restaurant, go running)

=> With 5G products even though the listening time was more it was easier to make it fit in the day by just pausing and later resuming the listening. I am not sure if that lessened the results and by how much. But it was a lot more easy for example to put it on pause after 6h, take a shower, later resume for one more hour and when there is time in between to listen more to it so I am sure I am above the 8h goal.
=> With higher generation products it is nice with the days off (sometimes I am unsure if that might slow the process down, but just do what you need to do), but with a lot loops that make up a lot of time it hinders the buying decision. The TA-Shield for example is a nice shield but with that high amount of listening time necessary I will not buy it because I am sure I can not keep this up for the long run. Also with LTU6 (and UMS2) I won't make the buying decision before I have seen all the necessary loops per stage and the length that listening is needed. I want to be sure I can meet the required listening time before I commit to the program.

I think with some programs that is hindering the sale success. Maybe I am alone with that opinion but maybe others feel and think the same way.

That is a valid point.  Alright, I'll try to remember that.
